Re-looping
When loop play is disengaged and loop points are already stored, pressing the RELOOP button
starts looped playback and the RELOOP button lights.
Seamless playback from the LOOP start point
Pressing the RELOOP button always play starts from the loop start point.
Changing the LOOP points
Loop start and end points cannot be erased but be over written. Execute the same way as Section
2-4:
“IN/OUT Looping” to change the loop points.
2-5. Adjusting the tempo
Pitch range
The C.504 features +/-4, 8, 16, 32, and 100 of pitch control range. Pressing the PITCH RANGE but-
ton changes the pitch control range. The parameter display section of the LCD momentarily shows
the selected pitch range.
Using the Pitch slider
The pitch slider controls playback pitch in % increments. Pitch changes are displayed in the LCD.
The C.504 offers a +/- 4% range for more accurate adjustments when beat matching. At this setting
each marker (dot) is equal to 1%.
2-6. Pitch Bending
When playing back a disc, pressing the BEND + or - buttons, or using the Jog wheel can change
playback tempo momentary. Pressing the + button or moving the Jog wheel clockwise increases the
playback speed which returns to original speed when this button is released or the Jog wheel stops
moving. Pressing the - Button or moving the Jog wheel counterclockwise decreases the playback
speed and which also returns to original speed when released or the Jog wheel stops moving.
NOTE:
* When VINYL button or an effect button is not lit, the Jog wheel works for pitch bend function. The
maximum pitch bend range is 16% (for jog wheel & buttons).
* When PITCH LOCK function is activated, playback pitch is fixed.
2-7. KEY LOCK
When pitch range is set to +/-4, 8, or 16%, pressing the KEY LOCK button turns on and off the KEY
LOCK function. When KEY LOCK function is turned on, pitch control does not affect the actual Key
of the playback. For example you can adjust the speed (TEMPO/BPM) of a track without affecting
the harmonic Key. When the KEY LOCK function is turned on, “KEY LOCK” indicator shows in the
LCD screen.
NOTE:
If TEMPO range is set to +/-32% or 100%, the KEY LOCK function does not work.
